Woman suing
Victoria's Secret over thong-gone-bad

Macrida
Patterson, 52, a traffic cop for the Los Angeles DOT, is suing
the lingerie giant "Victoria's Secret" over a thong incident.
According to the latest reports, Patterson has filed a lawsuit
against Victoria's Secret, after a thong fastener snapped and
injured her eye. The thong, a Victoria's Secret Sexy Little
Thing low-rise v-string, had a heart-shaped pendant attached to
the fabric with a metal fastener, according to the lawsuit, when
one of the metal pieces snapped off the thong and struck Macrida
Patterson in the eye. "I was putting on my underwear from
Victoria’s Secret, and the metal popped into my eye. It happened
really quickly. I was in excruciating pain. I screamed. That’s
what happened," she told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira
during an interview. According to her lawyer, Patterson suffered
a scratched cornea and had to miss two weeks of work. The
unfortunate woman is now suing the lingerie company for
compensation for lost wages.
